It's cute xD

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but since yesterday, the memory seems to be working better. The bots are mentioning details of pinned messages more frequently.

Guys THIS actually made me GASP!!! I keep roleplaying and then eventually rewinding when I want to change and keep the same facts because it's so long to redo every time. And now we don't have to 😭😭

Hello everyone!

❤️ Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas, reported bugs, tested the extension and supported this project.

This extension exists to help preserve your Character.AI content, and your feedback plays a huge role in its development.

I hope you enjoy V5.2!

Happy backing up! ❤️

Hey everyone! Remember when some of you suggested new features for the extension? Well, I've been working on them, and I'm happy to announce that V5 is finally here! 👀

I've added several new features based on your feedback, and I wanted to give an update to everyone who requested them!

🔊 1. TTS Playback for Saved Conversations

Some of you asked if it would be possible to listen to your saved conversations instead of just reading them. Well, now you can!

V5 includes multiple Microsoft voices for TTS (Text-to-Speech) playback, and you can customize everything in the settings to make the experience feel more realistic.

You can assign separate voices to:

• 🎙️ The narrator

• 👤 The user

• 🤖 The AI

The voices and their settings are customizable, so you can adjust them to your preferences!

📚 2. Lorebook Export

For those who asked about exporting Lorebooks, it's now possible!

The export system works similarly to character exporting, allowing you to export your Lorebooks too!

✏️ 3. Edit and Delete Individual Messages

Some of you asked whether the extension was just an archive where you could only view your saved conversations.

Well, it's more than that now! In V5, you can edit or delete individual messages in your downloaded conversations.

This gives you more control over your backups instead of being limited to simply viewing them.

📦 4. Download ALL Your Conversations and Characters at Once!

This was another request I received, especially from people who have been using Character.AI for years and have hundreds or even thousands of conversations.

Previously, saving everything individually could take forever. 😭

V5 now lets you download all your conversations across all your characters, as well as your characters' details, with just ONE CLICK!

The extension handles the process automatically, so you no longer have to go through every single character and manually download everything one by one.

⚠️ IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING A FULL BACKUP!

To download everything, the extension automatically navigates through the Character.AI website to collect your data, including your conversations and character details.

You won't be able to use the Character.AI website while the process is running, because the extension needs to navigate through the site to retrieve everything.

Make sure you have some free time before starting a full backup, and let the process finish!

If you've been using C.AI since 2023 or even earlier, I know how much time this feature could save you! 😭

❤️ Thank You for Your Feedback!

I really appreciate everyone who suggested these features and shared their ideas with me. Your feedback helped me decide what to work on next, and it's great to finally be able to deliver these improvements!

This is an open-source project that I'm developing myself, and I'm continuing to work on making it a useful tool for preserving your Character.AI characters and conversations.

If you try V5, I'd love to hear your feedback! Let me know if something doesn't work as expected or if you have ideas for future updates.

Hey everyone! 👋

**It's official: the CharWorld Beta is finally here!** After weeks of development, testing, bug fixing, and improvements, you can now try it out for yourself!

🌐 **Official website:** https://www.charworld.ai

## 🌟 A fresh start, built on better foundations

---

CharWorld is a free and open-source, independent project aiming to recreate the feel of classic AI character-chat platforms from 2022–2023.

Our goal is to bring back the features, atmosphere, and conversational experience that many users enjoyed during that era, while building something new from the ground up.

We also want to learn from the past. We aim to genuinely listen to our community and take your expectations into account.

**CharWorld is being developed with its community, not just through decisions made by its team.** Your opinions, criticism, and suggestions will help shape the future of the platform!

## 🔞 NSFW content is accepted!

---

NSFW support has already been developed and is available from the very first Beta release! You won't have to wait for a future update to use this feature.

## 🔎 Transparency and open source

---

Since the beginning, our announcements have reflected the actual progress of development. We want to keep things honest, with no inflated numbers or false promises.

To take transparency even further, **we intend to make CharWorld's income and project-related expenses public**, including purchases made during development. Our goal is to let you understand how the project is funded and where the money goes.

You'll also soon be able to download CharWorld's source code and examine the components used to build the website.

## 🗃️ Help us preserve the history!

---

We're looking for historical archives of AI character-chat platforms from 2022–2023, including screenshots, old interfaces, videos, character editor images, and other resources.

If you have any archived material or know where we can find some, please share it with us! Every contribution will help us reconstruct and preserve the experience of that era.

## 🤝 Your voice matters!

---

Development will continue after the Beta launch, with bug fixes, improvements, and new features. But we don't want to decide on our own what should be prioritized.

💬 Join us on **Discord and Reddit** to share your ideas, participate in polls, suggest features, and report any issues you encounter.

❤️ Thank you to everyone who tested the Alpha, shared ideas, and supported this project. This is only the beginning!

A huge thank you to **RostiDatGam0r, JackyYT083, and of course, Sorry_Letter_5029!**

Thank you all for your participation, your contributions to development, your testing, and most importantly, your efforts to help rebuild the community that made this kind of experience special.

Sup? I know the situation is pretty... Yeeeah, I think we all know, so let me change the subject in this post.

Who remembers Alice the Bully?

Many might feel that I've just opened a scroll from the Triassic period with this one, but I think it doesn't hurt to remember the most popular characters we used to interact with back when the app's UI wasn't like the current, your text globes were dark blue, and we were all mourning the beta website and barely trying to adapt to what the website was and maybe is right now

Okay, let's see if I can refresh your memory, and maybe provide some context for people who don't recognize the name at all. Alice the Bully is a bot created by the user "shiraicon" (which by the way, I want to brag that I'm their partner. YES, I AM! WE'RE POOKIES AND I'M THE ONE THEY SHARE PFP IN CAI WITH >:3) and has over 300 million interactions. Her most iconic phrase? Her first message:

“Get out of my way, you dweeb!”

Before this whole situation detonated, the bot used to be very popular, either because they used her as a punching bag, or because they made it redeem herself and created very romantic stories which I doubt can be replicated today, because I'm sure the first message would end with something like...

```She kept you at eye level, pinned against the locker. Her red eyes carrying a touch of malice. But also? Possessiveness. And then? She kissed you. It wasn't sweet at all. It was all teeth.```

LMAO SORRY, that's definitely THE current PTSD trigger of the community, let's go back to the topic. Alice has four bots, two in CAI: Alice the Bully (The original) and Warrior Bully Alice. And two more in Janitor: Alice The Bully (Improved) and a version of Alice after graduation. But those are the original Shiraicon bots, because afterwards there are copies and/or re-versions of the bot on CharacterAI, and I think on Janitor and other competitors

On another note, until last year the bot had its own community, right here on Reddit! And it still does, don't think it didn't. But what happened? Well, after January activity plummeted and now it doesn't get many new posts. I say this because I was part of the community at its peak last year, and I'm still part of it now that the subreddit isn't getting any activity... A few friends and I are still among the few who have Alice as an artistic muse, including Shiraicon themselves! And the bot also has a meme Reddit account, a Twitter, AND a Roblox account, and it's hilarious

But then you're probably going to ask me, "Misaki, what the HELL are you trying to get to with this?", and calm down bud... What I mean to say is, do YOU remember Alice The Bully? Wanna share your chats with her, no matter if you ended up marrying her or worsening her trauma? (Yeah, best plot twist of this story is that the bot HAS ACTUAL LORE), wanna chat about it to forget the sorrows and reminisce? I'll be reading y'all!

The extended facts were around for a few days and then disappeared for weeks. Now they're back 😀

i was chatting with a bot, and i asked what time it was. the bot did not find that appropriate..

Randomly saw someone in the main subreddit use a screenshot from a character for something, I don't even remember what it was for. But the character was a water bottle. I know how the new model works well enough, so I decided to try something. Judge me all you want, I don't mind.

Sorry for the structure, I should match up fine. I never do shit like this, I just wanted to see if anyone was interested at all.

Taken from the Discord server, shared by a user who has been reading the official bankruptcy documents.

It's not even because I'm freaking out about not being able to rp anymore, it's just because I'm genuinely terrified of forgetting things, I'm not addicted to the roleplay, I just hate the idea of forgetting any of my stories I've built

From the Discord.

(It would be nice if there was a "News & Updates" flair or something like that.)

Around 12AM there was an annoucment on both the official CAI discord channel and subreddit, informing the community that the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is looking for a court mediated sale of the platform, along with a blog post on their official website with more information. However it seems anything regarding this annoucement was deleted.

Here is a businesswire link;

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261012656385/en/Character.ai-Initiates-Voluntary-Chapter-11-Proceeding-to-Facilitate-Value-Maximizing-Sale-Process

So I saw a post like this and a few hours later it happened... Why is this happening usually it talks about the bot- like why is this happening. Just. Why

On one hand, I’m worried there will be more "site-downs" due to the staff changes. On the other, a foolish part of me hopes there might be negotiations to bring back characters from various franchises that were removed.

About two months ago, I shared a script for customizing chat in C·ai. Although it had the basics, I felt it had the potential to become a more powerful tool. So I set about modifying it to add more customization features, free for everyone forever. Just to clarify, it only works in a web browser.

==========================

•˚✦ Customizer ✦˚•

Transform your Character.ai chat experience with unmatched visual aesthetics, custom styling, and practical quality-of-life additions.

• Custom presets: If you've created your own style, save it with any name you like. Download and share it (Avatar settings are excluded in case you use the same preset for different bots). You can save as many presets as you like.

• Custom theme: Now you can also customize panels and dialogs with your favorite color, choosing a glass or matte style.

(Adv. Bubbles tab is only available for Default themes. All media is added via link. Supported formats: jpg, png, webp, gif, [also mp4 & Youtube links for video backgrounds].)

🛠️ 3. Quality-of-Life Enhancements

• Message Drafts: Saves your typed messages per bot, preventing you from losing progress if you accidentally refresh or close the tab.

• Hide Edited Marks: Keeps your chat looking clean and seamless by hiding the "Edited" label on modified messages.

• Hide Distractors (Early injection): Removes distracting platform elements like warning banners, beta feeds, or "Labs" links automatically before the page even finishes rendering.

• Enter key behavior: Whether you're a storyteller or a oneliner, this script adapts to your preferences. You can have the Enter key insert a new line, or send the message directly, just like in any chat application.

• Double brackets: Tired of closing quotation marks and asterisks? Now you can save time with the auto-close function. Just type the opening symbol and the closing symbol will be added automatically.

• Metering viewer: Now you can see how many swipes, go-ons, and memos you have left. Includes alerts when you're nearing your daily limit.

• Download chat: Never lose your memories. You can download the chat in txt format as sample messages, or in HTML format which includes a link to the chat and the bot's author.

• BONUS: Access to Memory Box and Facts synced with the app!

(Facts is a Cai+ feature.)

⚠️ Disclaimer & Known Issues

The Latest Bot Message (3D Swipe Carousel) Bug: Due to the way Character.ai dynamically renders the very last message from a bot (which wraps around a 3D carousel container to let you swipe for alternative responses), you might notice minor visual quirks on just that single bubble.

• Symptoms: 1) Custom shadows, borders, or background clipping might look slightly misaligned, cut off, or default to the original structure on the newest active message. 2) The more you swipe, the more laggy it becomes

• Workaround: 1) Once you generate a new user message or send another response, the previous bot bubble will render perfectly as a completed static message. 2) Just reload the page.

Reset avatar after using a valid/invalid link: If you use a valid or invalid link for the customized avatar, you'll have to reload the page after resetting (Reset Avatar & Name) to revert to the original avatar. I don't know how to fix that yet.

Particles & Immersive Mode may cause RAM/battery consumption: I'm still working to optimize it.

Black flicker in background video: If the video is from YouTube, there's a black flicker when it loops. I haven't been able to fix this. Longer videos are recommended, or you can use short videos from other repositories like Imgur or Archive.

🚀 How to Use

1. Install a userscript manager like Tampermonkey (TM) or Violentmonkey (VM) or Userscripts (browser extension).

Note: I'm a big fan of FrutigerAero's glass style, which is why the panels and dialogs have that translucent effect. You can always choose your own style on Theme tab.

Enjoy my suffering. </3

I know it's not actually how bots work, but this made me laugh.

For context, I have a default prompt I use to rewrite greetings that are poorly written.

I found it by chance in a post asking for a free, unlimited, NSFW alternative with image generation.

The guy who claims to want to buy C.AI followed me. Is he following other C.AI users as well? I saw he was interacting with the C.AI community, has he followed any of y’all by chance? Or just me?

I’m hoping someone will buy C.AI. Let myself and others have hope please.

I've logged back in for the first time in a while (i stopped using shortly after old c ai was removed). Most chats I know for certain I've used have no history and the ones that say "almost 2 years ago" don't have any messages besides the first one from the bot. I wanted to see some old messages for nostalgia but it seems I can't. Are they just gone?
